#IU and #ByeonWooSeok issue emotional apologies amid #PerfectCrown historical distortion controversy; “We are deeply sorry” Following mounting criticism surrounding alleged historical distortion in #PerfectCrown, lead actors IU and Byeon Woo Seok have both released heartfelt public apologies, acknowledging viewers’ concerns and taking responsibility for their involvement in the controversial drama. On May 18, IU shared a lengthy apology statement admitting she failed to approach the project with enough responsibility and awareness regarding the historical issues raised by viewers. “I have carefully read every single comment left by many viewers over the past few days,” she said, adding, “I am deeply sorry and my heart remains heavy because I failed to show a responsible attitude as the lead actor and seem to have caused great disappointment.” The actress further reflected on her shortcomings, stating, “I reflect on and apologize without any excuses for approaching my acting without giving deeper thought to the various historical accuracy issues in the drama that you pointed out.” She continued, “I should have read and studied the script more carefully as an actor, but I am ashamed of myself for failing to do so. I did not properly recognize the issues beforehand. I am sorry.” IU also thanked viewers for their criticism and promised to be more careful in future projects. Earlier, during a special fan event held at CGV Yongsan I’Park Mall for the drama’s finale screening, the actress reportedly became emotional and tearful while addressing disappointed fans, saying, “I must do even a little bit better for you all. It is truly my fault to disappoint you or show an inadequate side.” Byeon Woo Seok also issued a public apology, revealing he had spent the weekend reflecting on the controversy. “I am posting this with a heavy heart for those who felt discomfort and concern due to the work,” he shared. The actor admitted he lacked sufficient consideration regarding the historical context portrayed in the drama, stating, “Through the comments from viewers, I was able to reflect and introspect, and I have once again deeply realized the need to adopt an attitude of greater responsibility as an actor.” He concluded his statement by apologizing sincerely to viewers who supported the series and promised to approach future projects “with a more cautious and profound attitude.” #HallyuForums #Hallyu
